A Winter’s Tale [D] - David Essex [Intro] [D] [Verse 1] The [D] nights are colder [G] now [F#m] Maybe I should close the [G] door ... [Slight Pause] And any [A] way the [D] snow has [A] covered all your [Bm] footsteps And [G] I can follow you no [A] more. The [D] fire still burns at [G] night My [F#m] memories are warm and [G] clear ... [Slight Pause] but every [A] body [D] knows it's [A] hard to be a-[G]-lone at this [A] time of [D] year. [G] [D] |[Chorus] |It was [D] only a winter's [Em7] tale |[D] just another [D7] winter's [G] tale |and [D] why should the world take [Em7] no...tice of [D] one more love that's [A] failed |It's a [D] love that can never [Em7] be |though it [D] meant a lot to [D7] you and [G] me |On a [D] world wide scale we're [A] just another winter's [D] tale [Musical interlude] [D] [Verse 2] [D] While I stand a[G]lone [F#m] A bell is ringing far a[G]way ... [Slight Pause] I wonder [A] if you [D] hear, I [A]wonder if you're [Bm] listening I [G] wonder where you are to[A] day Good [D] luck I wish you [G] well for [F#m] all that wishes may be [G] worth ...
